La
Liga champions Real Madrid are set to start their 2017-18 competitive domestic
campaign against arch rivals and defending Copa Del Rey champions FC Barcelona
on Sunday, 13 August 2017 at Camp Nou as part of fist leg of Spanish Super Cup.
The game will be late kickoff on Sunday starting at around 21:00 uk time and
beIN Sports will have live coverage in the US while SkySports to broadcast the
match live in the UK. The second leg will be played three days later on 16th
August 2017 at Santiago Bernabue.

The
eagerly awaited double header between the two spanish giants might give us
glimps of season to come. Real Madrid are virtually unchanged apart from
letting James Rodriguez leave on loan to Bayern while Barcelona are hit with a
massive transfer of Neymar heading to PSG. Real Madrid will be as strong as
last season while Barcelona are surely set to miss Neymar contribution from the
left side of attach. Who will replace him ? is remain to be seen but its highly
likely Barcelona will sign both Philipe Coutinho and Ousman Dembele to cover
the gap left by Neymar.

Last
time these two meet in a competitive game was a incredible 3-2 win for
Barcelona thanks to Messi’s late injury time goal against 10-men Real Madrid.
We can expect similar exciting game but the result might be in Real’s favour
over the two leg of Spanish Super Cup.
